IMPROVEMENT IN BLACKSMITHS FORGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,202, dated January 30, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MELGHI SCOTT, of the city ot' Fairtield, county ot' Jeiterson and State ot' Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Blacksmiths7 Tuyeres; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters ot' reference marked thereon m aking a part ot' this specitication; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its coustruction and operation.

Dcscw'ptz'o n of the Accompanying Drawing.

In the drawing, the side ot' the water-tank is represented as cut away in order more clearly to show the internal arrangement of the invention.

GeneralDescription.

A A is the water-tank or reservoir, and should be made ot' cast iron. B is al conical tube, into which the bellows-pipe or nozzle is inserted. U is the tire, water, and blast box. D is the ash-box. E is an extra tube underneath the tire, water, and blast box. F is an escape or discharge tube. G is a tube for conducting the water from the tank A A to the tire, water, and blast box (l. H is aslide-Yalve for discharging the ashes coming through the openings J J through l[he tire, water, and blast box C into the ash-box D. For common black sluithing purposes the nozzle ot the bellows is inserted inthe conical tube B; but where heavy blastingl is required the bellows nozzle is inserted in the tube E and more chambers are added to the lire, water, and blast box C, with corresponding openings in the top ofthe box.

The tire, water, and blast box C is connected with the ash-box D by means of screws, with leather, rubber, or other desirable packing between the boxes. On the ends ot' the tubes F and Gr there is aI thread-cut which screws into the side ot1 the 1ire,water, and blast box C. These tubes are made water-tight by means of leather or rubber washers and nuts on the inside of the tank A A. 'hen it is desired to remove the ashes from the ashbox D, the slidevalve H is drawn out, when the ashes will fall through. J J are openings in the top otl the tire, water, and blast box C through which the air or blast from the bellows is brought in contact with the lire and fuel on the top of the fire, water, and blast box C. \V hen the tank A A is tlled with water, the conducting-tube G lls the water-space (indica-ted by the dotted lilies) in the iire, water, and blast box G for the purpose ot' keeping cool said box, so that the cinders or slag will not adhere to the top ot' the box C, and so that the blast is perfectly free. The crooked discharging-tube F is for the discharge ofthe hotwater and steam from the tire, water, and blast box C.

Claim.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, viz., the re, water, and blast box C in connection with the ash-box l), both being combined with the tank A A, as herein described.
